With a name as adorable and unique as hers, Oyster is truly a hidden treasure. Like her namesake, she may seem a bit shy at first -- her shell just needs a gentle tap and a little patience. But once she opens up, you'll discover the sweetest, shiniest pearl inside.

Oyster is a timid girl who takes a little time to warm up to new people and places. She's not quite a "take her anywhere" social butterfly just yet. Busy environments can feel overwhelming, and she does best when introductions are slow and reassuring. But give her a little space, a soft voice, and some love, and you'll see her blossom.

Once she trusts you, Oyster becomes your devoted little shadow. She loves to be held and will happily melt into your arms for cuddles. If you're looking for a velcro companion who will follow you from room to room and curl up beside you at the end of the day, Oyster is your girl.

Oyster is looking for a patient, loving home that understands shy pups and sees the beauty in earning a dog's trust. In return, she'll give you a lifetime of pearl-worthy love.

Oyster came to POMDR from the SPCA of Monterey County and is ready to melt into your heart.
